Dicrastylis cundeeleensis is a woolly shrub, growing from 20 cm to 50 cm high, in yellow red or yellow-red sands, on sandplains. Its stems are roughly circular in cross section, and have no peltate scales. The opposite and entire leaves are 4–25 mm long by 1.3-3.5 mm wide, and have branched (dendritic) hairs, and a blistered, puckered surface. There are no bracteoles, but there are bracts which are 2 mm long. The flowers stalks are 1.5-2 mm long, and have both dendritic and peltate scale hairs. The calyx has five lobes (1-2 mm long), and is covered in dendritic hairs, and the white or cream corolla is 3.5-6 mm long, with no dots or stripes in its throat. There are five stamens. Flowers may be seen in January, June, October or November.[1]

This species is thought to hybridise with D. brunnea.[3]

It is found in Beard's Eremaean Province.[1]
